Ai Higuchi

“Because I'm alive”

I would like to be able to enjoy the things and experiences I encounter, and the feelings and emotions that can only be experienced because I am alive, and express my awareness and invisible mental experiences from there. Suddenly, “I want to draw a picture!” spills out of children's mouths A similar impulse motivates me to create paintings. The colors and shapes that appeared in the process of exploring that reality are repeatedly reconstructed into a space and the work is completed.
Since we are living all our lives, I hope we can have compassionate conversations, both happy and sad, while being helped by the generosity of the flow of time.
